Letter: SHS did great job at tourney

I want to congratulate Springfield High School on a fantastic city tournament.

I want to congratulate Springfield High School on a fantastic city tournament.

The basketball team, led by coach Matt Reed, played with heart, determination and talent. They never gave up and persevered through all three games.

The SHS band was phenomenal! Its music wowed spectators. The pompom squad gave a talented and tasteful performance at halftime. The cheerleaders led the overwhelming crowd of students throughout all three games and kept the true SHS spirit alive. They showed good taste and manners as the opponent’s cheerleaders took the floor each time and they supported the other schools during their games. The Seven and Senators’ arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner” was sung beautifully.

And last but not least, I want to congratulate the amazing students of SHS for showing their overwhelming support of their team and their school. The stands remained full even after the Springfield games were over and they continued to cheer throughout the end of each evening. That is true school spirit. You are all winners.

Thanks for making this former SHS graduate, parent and teacher in District 186 extremely proud of you and all that you accomplished at city tournament.

— Pam Gaspard, Springfield
